living near Millwoods, became ged at

OF the evening meal her husband crept to a
window and fred with a double, barrelled

O'BRlEN THE TALK NEW YORK.
iammany's Hand seen in His Action
saturday Night-The George Men MAX.
ing Political Capital Out Of the Affair.
NEW YORK. lime

NEW YORK. June g.
The refusal of Editor Wm. O'Brien TO at.
tend the demonstrations of the united labor
party held IN his honor as representative of
the Irish cause. on Saturday night, caused
much excited comment all over the city Sun.
day. II Is the general opinion that O'Brien's
action has furnished considerable political
capital to the united labor party. as those to
whom the Irish patriot has been marked 10
MS attentions while in the city, and who
have appeared TO entertain the kindest re
gard for him. are members of the county de
mocracy and of Tsmmsny hall. A hastily
called conference Of Tammany leaders was
held yesterday and the --latest political
episode, as the affair was termed, was dis.
cussed IN all its phases. Arrangements will
PROBABLY be made in q few days BY Tammany
men to publicly deny that they participated in
the plot to keep O'Brien from taking part in
the demonstration of Saturday night.
Summing the whole thing up" remarked
the son OF Henry George, yesterday, "Mr,
Obriens absence is only another proof of
the alliance that exists between Archbishop
Corrigan and the leaders of Tammanv hail. y
But many of the latter gentlemen declared
yesterday that O'Brien had not even been
spoken TO by any of their number, on the
subject of remaining away from the demon
stration 1t is intimated by several promi-
nent lrishmen that if the action of O'Brien is
approved by his countrymen in IRELAND sub.
scrlptlons from America to the parliamentary
fund will be materially decreased, as the CON
tributions from America come chiefly from
workingmeh, and perhaps a large share of
them from members of the united labor
party.
Editor O'Brien was rendered an informal
reception by the New York Press Cub this
afternoon. Two hundred members were
present.

Another Race in Which the Thistle
Comes in First.

LONDON, June 6.
A brisk breeze was blowing this morning
when the yachts started in the race at Dover,
round course forty -four miles long. The
Thistle led directly. She turned the pier
within her own length and was quarter of

of two miles
When the Thistle had covered % miles, or
half the length of the course, she led the
Genesta BY five minutes and ~ seconds. The
1rex was the third one, minute behind the
Genesta. A thick fog has considerably in
terferred with the races, but is now clearing
away.
The Thistle was first to cross the finishing
line, leading the Genests. which was second,
by IL minutes. The Irex was third.
The exact time ~ which the three boats
finished was: Thiale, ) "a 56; Genesta,

Genests beat the Irex v half a minute only,
counting time allowance. The wind was
true throughout and there was no fiuking.
The Thistle again justified her claim to the
title of the champion. She left the others
steadily all through the race.

The David J. Adams Case.

HALIFAX, June 6.
Meagher concluded his address for the de-
fence in the David J. Adams, case this fore
noon, briefly referring to various arguments
that the arrest was not warranted by the
treaty and it was unlawful in Canada, as she
had not the power to enforce British laws.
r. L. Borden closed the case for the crown.
He answered the arguments for the defence
and continued that no reason had been shown
why the Adams shouldn't be condemned
The court informed Borden that he needn't
waste time considering Meagher's argument,
that an American was entitled to buy bait the
same as 10 repair damage or that he could
procure it the same as he could water.
